Donate to the ICBL through the Combined Federal Campaign

As part of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), the world's largest workplace charity campaign, U.S. Federal employees can donate now to support the ICBL’s global campaign and reduce the devastating effect landmines have on thousands of communities worldwide.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the ICBL’s worldwide network of experts and campaigners, a huge amount has been achieved to rid the world of antipersonnel mines since the movement began in 1992. But more needs to be done to bring a full stop to the devastation mines still cause.

Indeed, there are still more than 4,000 new victims of mines recorded globally every year, which is on average 12 people killed or injured every day, as well as 65 states or areas still contaminated by the deadly weapon, and a further 13 states have either suspected or residual mine contamination.2014 is a crucial year for the Mine Ban Treaty and the campaign with the Treaty’s Third review Conference – the Maputo Summit on a Mine-Free World taking place in Mozambique, marking 15 years since the Treaty’s entry into force. As well as assessing the progress and recognizing the significant achievements made to date, the conference will provide a roadmap for the work ahead.

ICBL believes that the Maputo Summit should be a starting point of the completion phrase of the work remaining under the treaty. Although the ICBL’s work is not over yet, the race to reach a mine free world is getting shorter every day. We are now running the last miles, and your help is absolutely indispensable to help us cross the finish line.The ICBL’s energetic and motivated campaigners all over the world are working every day to change the policy and practice of governments and organizations towards eradicating landmines and their devastating humanitarian effects and raising awareness of the problem amongst the public.

About the ICBL Charged with monitoring states’ progress against the Mine Ban Treaty – the global ban on the use, production, stockpiling and transfer of antipersonnel landmines, the ICBL supports hundreds of national organizations in almost 100 countries, all working to ensure countries fully implement their treaty obligations. Under the Treaty states must clear all their mined land and destroy their stockpiles of the weapon as well as address the needs of victims and fully respect their rights. They must report to the international community each year on their activities to achieve these aims.The huge gains already made to rid the world of this weapon show that civil society really has the power to change things.

You can be part of that change by donating to the ICBL under the CFC campaign.
